Different types of electronic components

Electronic components are the building blocks of electronic circuits. They are used to create circuits that perform specific functions. There are two main types of electronic components: active components and passive components. Active components are those that can control the flow of electricity, such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. Passive components, on the other hand, are those that do not control the flow of electricity but instead store, filter, or regulate it. Examples of passive components include resistors, capacitors, and inductors (en.wikipedia.org).


Here are some of the most common types of electronic components:


•  Resistors: These are used to restrict the flow of current in a circuit.


•  Capacitors: These are used to store electrical charge.


•  Diodes: These are used to allow current to flow in only one direction.


•  Transistors: These are used to amplify or switch electronic signals.


•  Integrated circuits: These are used to perform complex functions in a small space.


•  Inductors: These are used to store energy in a magnetic field.


•  Transformers: These are used to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another.


•  Relays: These are used to switch electrical circuits on and off.


•  Switches: These are used to open and close circuits.


•  Fuses: These are used to protect circuits from overloading.
